You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So it's not all about the ice skating? Are you sure?

Fortunately, I can use my remote control to avoid the ice skating... Or maybe avoid NBC all together, and just stick with the coverage on USA and MS NBC.

The Agony of Defeat guy didn't crack up in the Olympics. It was in the opening of Wide World of Sports because it happened on Wide World of Sports.

I don't know! I thought he was a Pepper. And not in that refreshing soft drink kinda way.

Ack you're killing me with the Project Runway spoilers! (Spoilish anyway...right?)

Spoilish but not really because we don't actually KNOW anything.

I'm wondering if, unlike last year, where Austin didn't know he was showing a collection until a month before, 4th place designer (having watched last year) prepared a collection in the same amount of time as the top three.

Heh, this from the Wikipedia entry on Agony of Defeat guy, Vinko Bogataj:

He appeared in the pilot episode of the television sitcom Scrubs as a patient whom two of the main characters shock with defibrillation paddles because they thought he was in cardiac arrest, only to dicover when he wakes up screaming in pain that he was merely sleeping.

Right. You're looking at pics of the actual collections, right? They do all of the final four so that's the what you don't know. Who will be OUT next week?

Exactly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Just thinking the words "agony of defeat" makes my chest get tight. We're a sports-dysfunctional family.

Never much cared for winter sports, but I did wear the Jamaican bobsledder sweatshirt. As did my parents. And sister. It was a pretty ugly design. See above.
